The Official 'Do I pass?' topic (Ver 4.0 - in 3-D)

[Dalex]

I often look at this thread but haven't actually taken the time to post or comment... until I listened to your recording.
Good stuff, amigo! Your voice and musical abilities are KILLERRRRR! Keep it up :-)

Thank you I'm actually happy to hear that I have heard that my voice is in a bit of a limbo, hard to tell if it sounds male or female. Hoping T will actually make it more to the male side. But again, thank you I actually have only been really playing the guitar for about three weeks or so xD But I will say, before that I was on the Ukulele like a mad man, so I have the grasp of string instrument down.

I pass most of the time, but I'm curious as to how old I look? I'm 20 and pre T

[immortal gypsy]

I would be asking for your I.D (drinking/gambling age is 18), BUT I wouldn't dispute your age saying 20. From the photo all I see is a guy and I have to keep one eye on people all day at work so congratulations

[mynameisjacob]

Thanks, I usually get 15-16. I actually got asked if I was over 15 to buy a DVD once...

You can post in either forum because you're pretty darned cute at this point, Erm you probably didn't want to hear that but it's true! Anyway, you're real young and can grow into whatever you plan to do with your life. Nice pix!

[echo_artist]

I don't mind being called cute. It's just a word. :3
And thanks! I appreciate it ALOT!

[StirfriedKraut]

Hey! You guys look great! Keep it up

It's wicked hard to pass pre-T unless you're a lucky sob. You guys are doin good though!

I don't think I'm allowed to post images yet. I'll post one when I'm able. Unless using tags works.

[echo_artist]

I feel like I don't pass.
Most of the guys around where I live....are kind of "scraggidty" (heard that from a friend for just lewd and messy)
So, me being 'proper' makes me look more like a lesbian than a guy. Plus my hips are HUGE for my size. :I
I'll try to make a recent photo.

[Bombadil]

Dalex, first of all you have an awesome voice and musical ability so keep singing. And you picked a song I love. Your voice could be read either way right now. I was singing the other day trying to figure out what my voice was doing and realized how many men's voices on the radio could totally pass as females. I guess what I'm trying to say is that gender in music is very fluid and you are doing great.

[Dalex]

Thanks Cristopher Actually reading that makes everything so much better I am looking forward though on hearing and seeing the chances when I start T, but at the rate things are going it's going to be a while :/ The main head of the gender therapy team here just keeps on moving my meetings :/

I thought I passed okay in this picture, but now I sort of need it cause I want to post it in a "show your faaace" thread on a forum I'm on and they only know me as a guy there, sooo, now I'm all insecure about it  .__.;;

[Dalex]

Rawb, I would say that picture passes actually really well. I say go for using that one

Wondering if I'll ever be able to pass with long hair. I like the long hair look on guys and would like to have it as an option...

Longish hair:


With my hair bundled up and out of the way:

Long hair is a unisex hairstyle, so you're good. I'm keeping my hair too. ^^
If you're going to keep it, stay away from bangs that contour
your face. (something that'll make your face appear more soft or round)

PS: I like your top pic.

Long hair is always risky. Even cis guys get misgendered with it at times. I don't know if you are on T, but long hair and facial hair works well together. if you're not and you don't want to get misgendered, I would stay clear of long hair. The pictures are andro to me, but leaning towards the feminine side.

You're right. My partner get misgendered a lot. He also has facial hair, lol. (isn't that something?)

[ridder-mark]

Hey guys. I'm not exactly transgender (to be honest I have no idea what I am, i just know I don't want to be a woman). But I figured this forum applies to me also.
Sorry for the terrible photos, they were taken with an iPod and in a hurry. I have my hoodie because I still have long hair (going to cut it in December/january, after I finish school -cant wait-) and thought this way you could portray better how my face would look with short hair. You think I pass?

By the way can any of you tell me what haircut would look well on me and help me pass? thanks

Edit: here are 3 photos, front, side, and 3/4 profile so my features can be seen better.. but beware my horrible face lol might make you blind

[Bombadil]

Hi rider-mark. Welcome. You could totally pass. In that second photo you pass 100% to me. I'm no good on hair cuts so someone else will have to weigh in on that.

[Dalex]

Welcome to Susan's Ridder. I would say on both pictures you pass

But, question with the haircut, would all really depend on what you would want to go for but I'll share some pictures of hairstyles that I personally think might suite you.







I have been around hairstylists since I was in diapers but hairstyles also has to be something that you want. But! Also remember, hair is hair, it grows back rather quickly if you think you cut it too short
I hope that helped



@pianoforte
I wouldn't worry too much about your hair length actually Love the first pic, and I think you pass really well. The first pic reminds me a bit of Kurt Cobain actually
